When he got to Honolulu's Tripler General Hospital, reports U.S. Army Surgeon Robert J. Hoagland in the American Journal of Medical Sciences, he discovered that the military community provided him with more than his share of such exasperating emergencies. Anxious to do something about his desperate patients, Dr. Hoagland suggested that emergency-room physicians try to combat coma with doses of "analeptics"-a class of drugs that includes Benzedrine and Dexedrine, and works by stimulating the central nervous system into a state of hyperwakefulness...
...megalomania of Hitler gave the world the most awesome racing cars it has ever known: the Mercedes and Auto Unions. They were great, growling 600-h.p. monsters that could hit 200 m.p.h. on a straight -if they found one straight enough. Two world wars did their share to help, producing generations of youngsters thirsty for thrills. The terror of Thurber's aunt, who tried vainly to conquer a car and wound up pleading, "Somebody take this goddamn thing away from me," gave way to something the psychologists called "locomotor philia": the teen-ager in his chromed and channeled-down...
What's more, Clark loves his work. Not many Grand Prix drivers do. "This cruel sport," the U.S.'s Dan Gurney calls it.

Courage Is Needed. Vastly different in their traits and talents, America's newly wealthy entrepreneurs nonetheless share some telling similarities. Ambitious, energetic and supremely confident, they have had vision enough to get an idea, courage enough to pursue it. They were often discouraged by the experts, and they failed frequently-only to rebound. So eager were they to test their ideas that many of them dropped out of college, though dropping out is by no means a requisite for making a million. They made tremendous sacrifices, taking meager salaries at first and pouring the profits back into their business...
...Pont, an institutional favorite, broke through its 1965 low last week without getting support. Small investors snapped up 80% to 90% of last week's 6,000,000-share Ford Motor Co. offering, while in 1963 the institutions grabbed up half of a similar Ford issue. The institutions were picking up a handful of stocks at bargain prices-such as Litton, Polaroid and Kresge-but mostly they just sat back and watched. Some figure that many stocks had been overpriced and were riding for a fall; others may be holding onto profits made by selling before...
